Question

Solve for x

x- 5/3=1​

Answer 1

x =
`(8)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given

x -
`(5)/(3)` = 1 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

3x - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

3x = 8 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x =
`(8)/(3)`

Answer 2

x = 8/3 or 2 2/3

Explanation:

x - 5/3 = 1

x - 5/3 + 5/3 = x

1 + 5/3 = 8/3 or 2 2/3

x = 8/3 or 2 2/3
